Crisis and Business Continuity Management – A Growing Concern

As the range of potential crises and emergencies which could impact upon them continues to grow, many companies and organisations are starting to take Crisis and Business Continuity management seriously. This growing concern has been reflected in Phil’s expanding portfolio of Crisis and Business Continuity training activities this year.

Phil Wood MBE has returned this week from Dubai, where he was working with a major client on their preparedness and planning procedures and is conducting ongoing work with them. This month alone he will be travelling to Oman and Kenya to conduct similar training for specific agencies and a major multinational company in contingency planning. This is definitely a growing part of ARC’s business and we will be looking to increase our activities in this sphere further in next year’s schedule.

To back up his own experience in the subject, Phil recently undertook the Business Continuity Institute (BCI) Certification examination. His pass with merit underlines his knowledge and ability in this area and demonstrates his understanding of Business Continuity processes and issues. This, combined with his experience of delivering training to corporate clients provides ARC with a market leading edge in this specialist area.

It is surprising how many businesses are not prepared for emergencies. If your plans, people and processes need some attention, ARC can meet your training and consultancy needs.
